Proud to Announce 2nd Quarter 2021 Edition of the Crypto Research Report in Partnership with Cointelegraph
Security token offerings raised over $5 billion in 2020. We estimate the global security token market to have $9.5 trillion in AuM by 2025.
Dear Crypto Asset Investors and Friends,
Is security tokenization the next killer application of blockchain? In an interview with Raiffeisen Bank International, the bankers leading their blockchain research hub stated that indeed, by 2030, most securities will have been tokenized. To gain a deeper understanding of how blockchain technology can transform traditional stock exchanges, the Crypto Research Report and Cointelegraph compiled a dataset of all security token offerings and found that almost $5 billion was raised in 2020.
The report explains how bond and stock tokenization works, how many assets have already been tokenized, what returns they have provided, and how they are regulated in different countries.
Supported by Crypto Finance, Bitpanda Pro, Coinfinity, Ten31 Bank, Riddle&Code, HyperTrader, Blocklabs Capital Management, Stadler Völkel, and Elevated Returns, the Crypto Research Report can be downloaded from the following link:

Highlights from the report include:
The daily trading volume on Binance and FTX of tokenized traditional stocks, such as Tesla (TSLA), Coinbase (COIN), GameStop (GME) and Apple (AAPL), is exceeding the monthly trading volume for all security tokens on popular security token exchanges, such as tZERO, Merj, Open Finance Network and TokenSoft. The daily trading volume for tokenized traditional stocks surpassed $4 million in one day on Binance and FTX in early May versus $3.9 million for the whole month of April on tZERO, Merj, Open Finance Network and TokenSoft. The total security token market capitalization is hovering around $700 million. We estimate this to surpass $1 billion by the end of Q3, 2021.
A recent trend is the self-custody of securities and the reemergence of bearer financial instruments. Tokenization of financial instruments allows investors to remove securities from an exchange and send them to a new exchange with a private key.
Exchanges can attract investors to deposit securities by offering them interest on their deposits for lending their securities to the exchange, which will in turn lend the shares to other borrowers. Exchanges may also allow investors to use their securities as collateral for loans or margin trading. This will drastically change the demand for securities, as fewer investors will sell and trigger taxable events in order to acquire liquidity. The demand will also increase for attractive securities, as a global pool of investors will now be able to easily invest in securities in other countries.
KPMG and WEF project that the security token market will grow to $8 trillion by 2025. The German digital asset platform for institutional investors, Finoa, predicts that the global security token market will have $9.5 trillion in assets under management by 2025.
